Where Is Cape Verde Located? the Island Nation Stunner That Shocked Argentina
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Direct commercial flights connect Cape Verde's international airports in Sal, Boa Vista, and Praia to Lisbon, Paris, Madrid, and Boston. The tourism profile of the islands splits sharply between two distinct traveler experiences. Visitors seeking beach resorts flock to the flat, golden-sand islands of Sal and Boa Vista, where world-class kitesurfing, windsurfing, and coastal leisure drive the local economy.
Travelers looking for cultural immersion, mountainous hiking, and historic architecture head to Santiago and Santo Antão. Santo Antão features steep canyon trails that rival the Canary Islands, while São Vicente's cultural hub of Mindelo showcases live music venues that honor the legacy of Grammy-winning singer Cesária Évora. Travel between islands occurs via inter-island domestic flights operated by regional carriers or ferry lines connecting closely clustered ports.
